So lets make a new ETH out of SolarCoin and call it EthereSUN, or SolarUM.

HAHA that is a good one. This ETH situation is really messing things up for the crypto community. We are getting a bit of blow back as SLR has low volume because people are more interested in the money making swings

I think the whole ETH ETC debacle has considerably affected other coins like Bitcoin Litecoin and Solarcoin. But rather in a good way. These have been around for far longer and now everyone knows how much of a problem a bitcoin hard fork would have been... ALL ETH did was boost the credibility of some other more serious coins like SLR. Just my opinion

Also shows that the solar premine should not be put in a ETH smart contract. If it's not immutable then it cannot doesn't work for solar. Counterparty looks like a good alternative. Smart contracts on the bitcoin block chain is much more secure.

Smart contracts are actually not necessary. Get rid of the 98 Billion and color coins instead. Then within the PoST functionality there is a Reward option to share Network Fees to stakers. Change this to share a new weight value every 6 months that equals the amount of Colored Coins held by a wallet. So that if a Wallet holds a KWH Color Coin it can now stake the coin that was colored that represents the Claim to create a higher ratio of payout on Staking.

The only problem with my initial idea and why it was rejected by the devs was that Claimers had to buy coin. Maybe set aside coin in a wallet that will have to match all colored claims or be audited. It could also be any amount of coin to color too but just has to equal the claims outstanding in color since that will be the weighted sum to extract coin from. So this could be a very small amount of coin but equal the 98 Billion. 1 Satoshi times 1 million would be 98,000 coins set aside and never be worth more than market value until colored. Coloring could be done with MultiSig wallets from the founders and devs too most likely.

So where normal coin only earns normal PoST percentage, Claims get a whopping 1 Million return on their satoshis or what have you, just to create the claim out. Maybe the weight can diminish too in an algo over 20 years.

Then Claimers could also sell their Colored Coin Claim if they don't wish to participate being that we could require coin buying to color without worrying about the satoshi and 98,000 coins.

This was my ultimate plan to boost the price of SLR, require a need to buy it. You can still give it away though I just think people will want to buy to participate when there is no other market that could do what we put forward. The color lists now all of the power online.

This would make the cost of the coin skyrocket. No more 98B coin and if the Grant model is kept only 98,000 coins would be at risk for being stolen and the only way they could become Claims is through the MultiSig so at that point we would all know they were used for their intended purpose. So at the worst possible scenario the 98,000 are stolen and a market cap on those could be $120 per coin or almost 12 Million but meanwhile the entire market cap would be almost 4 Billion. Also any coin could still be bought by the MultiSig wallets to now color a claim with. It just costs the foundation money at that point since they allowed their wallet to be stolen somehow.
